A magical, visionary adaptation of the quintessential winter ballet – Dutch premiere

Spectacular, rousing, wonderfully witty but also sensitive

Le Temps

Limitless imagination, exuberant choreographies, tender and moving dance and a totally new approach to Tchaikovsky’s famous music: this work, the biggest production that Introdans has ever staged, has got it all! The dance company presents another contemporary, internationally successful adaptation of a universally loved classic for all the family, and simultaneously a premiere for the Netherlands.

This time we have chosen the ultimate winter ballet: The Nutcracker, but in a totally new interpretation by the Belgian choreographer Jeroen Verbruggen. His version does not include a Christmas tree, sugar fairy or gifts, but it does contain all the magic and enchantment that you expect from The Nutcracker. Introdans gives it a quirky and unique touch. A version about ‘cracking’ your own shell, your own nut, in order to discover your true identity.

Major highlights include Verbruggen’s vibrant choreography, the ‘dream land’ stage décor and the lavish, baroque costumes by the Paris-based fashion duo On Aura Tout Vu by Yassen Samouilov and Livia Stoianova, which has stars such as Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Madonna and Christina Aguilera among its clientele. After the resounding success of Carmen and Swan Lake in the last two years, The Nutcracker is a new performance by Introdans in the winter months for every dance lover (6-106 years).

“The audience, young and old, can look forward to an amazing spectacle. The production is vibrant, it’s festive, it’s brimming with imagination and every element reveals that this Nutcracker comes straight from Jeroen Verbruggen’s heart,” says Introdans director Roel Voorintholt.
